YouTube's home/trending seems purposefully designed to make you lose faith in humanity

@canusernamebemyusername I've the browser configured to purge all the cookies and local storage at the end of the session, so I fear what i get is the average of what my region or country watches.. 😶

@Elessar Oh no you poor thing! It's a strong algorithm. I get American junk even if I set my location and vpn to the UK:( This isn't planet America>:(

@Burnley123 To make life a little harder to advertisers/trackers, my browser is configured to delete cookies and local data at the end of every session; I can see that suggestions no longer match my previous watching history the moment I restart the browser, what's concerning is what I'm presented anytime I start fresh 😶

@RoxClymer No way I'm purposefully or even accidentally watching kids playing Fortnite

@SW-User I do the same, "!yt <name of song>" on the browser bar lands me to the search result, but once in a while I make the mistake of clicking on the logo, end up seeing the home and feeling this urge to move somewhere remote enough in the Swiss Alps

@Elessar I stand corrected, there are a couple of crackhead vignettes it seems, this is from just now:

@SW-User But I need to know about the grey squirrels.

@empanadas I've drawn the line long before that; like Instagram and Snapchat are already out, let alone TikTok lol
